Germany Arrests Man on Suspicion of Antisemitism

Officials reported on Monday that German police have arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of planning violent acts that pose a threat to the state, after he threatened to kill people in online posts and shared far-right, antisemitic content. The Criminal Investigation Department and the Public Prosecutor's Office in Frankfurt stated in a report that police in the western state of Hesse searched the suspect's apartment last Wednesday, confiscating computers, weapons, and ammunition. The report indicated that the suspect had regularly posted online threats to kill individuals for political reasons. Authorities in Hesse disclosed that several months of investigations revealed that the suspect is "violent, antisemitic, and far-right extremist."
